E & H on the River Kwai

E & H on the River Kwai
Originally uploaded by emilymeyerson

After leaving Bangkok and the Red Shirts, Harry and I went to Kanchanaburi for three days. This town is directly on the River Kwai, known famous from the movie, the Bridge of the River Kwai. It is the main town along the "death railway" that prisoners of war in WW 2 were made to build by the Japanese. Lots of WW 2 history. Also in the area are many national parks, we went to one and climbed the seven steps of Erawan Falls and swam in three of the steps. It was really, really hot!! Like unbelievably hot.
